The Council of Cyrenaica in Libya (CCL; Arabic: مجلس برقة في ليبيا), formerly known as the Cyrenaica Transitional Council (CTC; Arabic: مجلس إقليم برقة الانتقالي), is a Libyan federalist political organisation that claims to be the devolved government of the region of Cyrenaica. It calls for the restoration of the federalist 1951 constitution, with the creation of a regional parliament of Cyrenaica that would hold devolved control over domestic affairs and security policy. Since 2012, it has been led by Ahmed al-Senussi, who was elected president of Cyrenaica at its founding conference of 3,000 members. Since 2014, its leader in the House of Representatives has been Abu Bakr Baira. Its military branch is the Army of Cyrenaica (AC; Arabic: جيش برقة), which is led by colonel Hamid Hassi and supports the Libyan National Army of Khalifa Haftar.
